Description
What is the best way to understand Dynamic Programming? Shall I directly jump to the problems or spent ample of time in understanding the underlying theory? How can I frame my thought process to achieve those elegant solutions by myself?
Are these some of the questions that come to your mind?
If yes, then you are reading the description of the perfect course you intended for.
If you observe the recent trends, dynamic programming or DP(what most people like to call it) forms a substantial part of any coding interview especially for the Tech Giants like Apple, Google, Facebook etc.
We have spent a great amount of time collecting the most important interview problems that are essential and inevitable for making a firm base in DP.
In this course you will learn how to approach a DP problem and visualize the so called "sophisticated solution" for it. There are many problems discussed in this course which are of varying difficulty levels ranging from easy to medium level. And for each problem we have followed the same strategy to explain it. Firstly, we have the problem statement part where we clearly state the problem with a practical example. Then we have the intuition part where we start building our logic behind the approach by figuring out some patterns using our common sense and mental aptitude. Finally we have the pseudo-code and the sample illustration part which completes the whole journey. We believe this consistency in our approach will help the students to understand, visualize and conceptualize the problem solving approach firmly. By the end of this course he/she would be in a great shape to tackle a DP problem.
We will be moving at a slow and a steady pace introducing the main concept behind DP followed by example problems so that you can visualize and apply what you have learnt.
For students who are interested in practical implementation of the algorithm discussed in the video, we have provided C++ and Java codes as an additional resource.
Along with that, each problem is followed by a quiz or a coding assignment which we heavily insist everyone to try. These quizzes and coding assignments are there to check whether you have imbibed the true essence of the concept and are ready to apply it in any similar type of problem. We have provided the true solutions as well for the students to verify theirs.
So what are you waiting for? Just go ahead and enroll for this easy to understand course and get ready to nail those Tech-Giants coding interviews by mastering the art of solving a DP problem.
Who this course is for:
- Anyone who is interested in improving their problem solving skills.
- Anyone who wants to get started with Dynamic Programming.
- Anyone who wants to prepare for any kind of a coding interview.

"If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough"
These lines by Sir Albert Einstein have stimulated our appetite for learning. Our sweet team comprises of Suresh Gandhi, Rohit Jain and Shubham Chandak. We believe that learning in depth and comprehensively is the most crucial step for becoming a great teacher. A great teacher has a solid and robust grip over concepts and the capability to explain it neatly to the students.
We have this quality and love this work more than anyone else could.
Programming and Logic is fuel for our lives and teaching it to others is a source of immense satisfaction. The pursuit of getting that "Aha" moment in our students is something that we really love.
The idea of delving deeper into an unsolved problem, comprehending various aspects of the problem, breaking its complexity into simplicity just by visual observation and common sense and then finally teaching it to someone else in the most perfect manner is something that we are profoundly passionate about. In a nutshell this is the philosophy our of lives ->
"Code more to be a better teacher and teach more to be a better coder"
With 4 years of experience at leading tech companies like Microsoft and Amazon, I specialize in coding, system design, and cloud architecture. I’ve successfully led large-scale, distributed projects that have driven significant improvements in system performance and scalability.
I am passionately curious, a lifelong learner and excel at simplifying complex concepts. Driven by my passion for teaching, I find immense fulfillment in helping others learn and grow. Teaching is not just a way to give back—it’s also an opportunity to deepen one's own knowledge. The joy of seeing my students experience those ‘aha’ moments is what keeps me motivated.
Outside of tech, I’m a professional guitarist, specializing in blues, rock, fingerstyle, and Indian classical music. I’m also a certified Heartfulness meditation trainer, blending creativity and mindfulness into everything I do.
Rohit Jain is an experienced SDE-2 at Amazon in Boston, with over 5 years of expertise in designing and building large-scale systems across various teams, including critical projects in recruiting systems. Recognized as a 'Top System Design Voice' on LinkedIn, Rohit is passionate about algorithms, data structures, system design, and low-level design, and has helped countless engineers grow in these areas.
Rohit has conducted hundreds of interviews at Amazon, giving him deep insights into what it takes to crack technical interviews at top-tier companies. His ability to simplify complex concepts makes him an exceptional mentor and instructor, especially for those preparing for high-stakes system design interviews.
Rohit has also been recognized with several prestigious awards, including the Smart India Hackathon and the Global Recognition Award, for his innovative solutions and impactful contributions. He continues to share his knowledge through teaching, enabling engineers and aspiring architects to master scalable system design and build real-world systems with confidence.
